In certain heart diseases, the left ventricle does not contract simultaneously. Usually, a pacemaker can come to the rescue here. Why this does not help in thirty per cent of cases, however, is difficult to ascertain. Simulations on the CSCS Monte Rosa supercomputer of the physiology of the heart should now help provide a detailed [...]
Jean Favre (CSCS) presents at SC12 a video created together with Martin Schmitt and Christos E. Frouzakis ETH Zurich of direct numerical simulation of flow in engine-like geometries. Internal combustion engine flows are turbulent, unsteady and exhibit high cycle-to-cycle variations. There are multiple turbulence generating mechanisms and their effects overlap in time and space, creating [...]
Babak Hejazialhosseini works in the CSE Lab at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Professor Koumoutsakos. Babak presents his work on “High throughput software for direct numerical simulations of compressible two-phase flows”.
The Swiss Distributed Computing Day is an annual meeting of users and providers of distributed computing technologies. This year’s theme is “Supporting Science with Cloud Computing” and it will be held on November 19 2012 at the University of Bern. The event is free of charge and the registration deadline is November 15th. Date: November [...]
A few weeks ago CSCS had an open day. One of our purposes was to explain to the visitors how scientists use the supercomputers to do their work. With that in mind, Maria Grazia created a short cartoon entitled “How do computational researchers work: a typical day”. “I observe the world around me displaying all [...]
